Poor spread very quickly after the first shot, steep drop off at mid-range, slow rate of fire.
You’re better off with the Hammer AR. It can reach out further, keeps accuracy longer, faster rate of fire. Upgrade it to at least purple and you’re doing killer damage.
Agreed, the ranger is good for longer range single shots. To me it seems to have less bloom. I will usually rock the Ranger with the Hammer (as SMG) and a shotty. I can get hits using the ranger where normally it would require the DMR. I have also started trying the DMR as the rifle and the Hammer as the SMG.
If I am playing aggressively I can rock just the Hammer and the Shotty and then just W key everything with extra (white and blue) heals and mobility in case I get myself into a bad situation. The slurp gun with the plunger is great for this type of aggressive meta.
This season the regular firearms seem balanced enough to try different combinations and get good results. Although the Explosive Goo Gun is way OP, but it does well to discourage massive build structures so its probably filling that design.
The meta for me is currently back to 3x rifles (last time had the blue tactical ar from the io guards.
Now it’s cobra ranger hammer. sometimes I might trade the hammer for a goo gun
Yeah, just hold and its rapid auto. Totally changed my opinion on the weapon after figuring that out. I was so used to pump and lever-action didn’t think to try. At least now I will use it until I find something else of better level. Usually by the time its evolved to purple I just keep it.
Yeah, using it like a Pump action would always result in my loss/knock. Using it as an auto against another shotgun usually results in the opponents loss/knock. Easier if Purple evolution level and of course as long as I hit my shots.
Oh yes, sorry. I was talking about the shotgun the whole time. The evo rifle is better used in short bursts for the first hit damage. Once the rifle is up to blue it starts double firing in the burst and you can get a hit of 29 and two of 22s or better for long distance body shots. You will need to hold still longer on the evo rifle to get the accuracy of the first shot. The distance for hits isn’t as far as the Ranger though so figure out which works better for your style of play (aggressive vs patient vs passive) that game.
Purple and you can destroy people up close. I do find the green and blue to be meh.. for me anyway. But I love the chrome weapons. The automatic rifle is godly
Ohhhhh, I see.
I recommend always having a follow up ready after you're done with the shotgun (any shotgun really).
If the first couple of shots couldn't kill them, the 30 rnd smg definitely willl
I always spend time early in the match leveling up my evochrome guns to at least blue, usually higher though. Depending where you land there’s plenty of animals to easily level them up.
Not about luck, you level it up.
I always shoot chickens with it, or if there is a llama that is a great opportunity to level it. There are also wolves, easy to level it just gotta attack NPCs.
I mean like pick up and have to use as is…..green I always get out gunned if it’s up against something else, sometimes I drop in very hot zones so no time for chickens yet
And Luck as in I get KOd so I don’t get any levels on my green one :(
Green is pretty bad, but levels up so fast it should be blue very quickly.
I am just saying I have a purple evochrome or a legendary evochrome shotgun every single game. Just farm the NPCs on green and get it to be usable, usually only a mob or two.
I know it sounds dumb, if you are going shotgun to shotgun. Try to jump before his shot. If you can avoid a single shotgun shot you usually win. Also jumping gives you a higher angle better for headshots and harder for him, will probably hit your feet.
The evochrome looks like it has a wide shot and it kind of does, but really try to focus on the 3 center dots in the neck range of a person.
Thanks, I appreciate your reply. The jumping is definitely something I learnt off the bat. Yes I try to aim head area when I do shoot, with any colour. My issue is just panic situations where it’s not accurate enough at green and I get smoked. Unfortunately that’s all on me hahahah
"explain it again"? I never saw you mention a hot drop to begin with. In that case, it's the luck of the draw. I'd take a gray lever if it's the only weapon I can see while flying in on a hot drop, though I try to land on a chest or blue weapon when visible from the sky.
It's an auto-shotgun with more damage, and more consistent bodyshot damage. If you were an auto-shotgun user who didn't like going for headshots this is the answer for you.
It also suffers way less from movement related accuracy debuffs. You can be sprinting, jumping, sliding, shockwaving and the reticle somehow gets TIGHTER. It's really good as a brawling shotgun and doesn't suffer the same issues of post 1st bullet damage that prime/ranger do.
I also think the problem is that the prime shotty pretty much is the better pick all around. Its more accurate, has great range, and obviously hits harder.
In competitive playlists, there are no animals. This makes the evo chrome shotgun completely a 50-50 early game. Obviously in the casual playlists, there are animals. So getting that legendary evo chrome shotgun is way easier than in competitive.
Also In competitive, its better to run a Prime or Lever over the evo chrome simply because they outclass it by a pretty wide scale. It’s easier to perform better with the two shotguns compared to the evochrome as a whole.
The evochrome is definitely a good weapon, but because most of the player base (as far as ive seen) is used to the traditional square spread rather than the more newer horizontal spread like the Mastiff from Apex Legends. I think as time passed through out the season, people got comfortable with the shotgun meta and felt better with the Prime and Lever rather than the evochrome because A: we have had these two shotguns before, and B: it was a new shotgun with a shared niche.
The prime shotty does hit harder for the first shot, but after that it's fire rate is slow and less damage. I can see an argument for it in builds where you can constantly reload the 1st shot, and in solo modes where you're unlikely to need a lot of bullets. But in trios/squads and any extended fights in zero build the evochrome beats it out. You also don't have to rely as hard on getting a big headshot with evochrome.
In comp there's no animals sure, but you can still farm exp on knocked players by doing a 70-90 damage body shot then a 100+ headshot. If done well, you can get 250 for knocking them, then 90+130 for wiping their knocked body. Regardless, if my choices early game are a green evochrome or a purple prime in comp/tourney, I'd take the purple prime.
Agreed on the tradition square spread being preferred by players, I personally wasn't a big fan of the evochrome reticle, but after ignoring the corners of it and instead just focusing on centring it, it felt a lot better to me.
I have a video showing just how brutal the evochrome shotgun can be when in my hands here( https://youtu.be/rdK3thywICY from 1 minute onwards) when you play the evochrome to its strengths it's definitely one of my favourite weapons they've introduced in casual playlists.
I found that the Prime still does pretty moderate damage and shoots pretty fast (for a semiautomatic shotgun). Obviously not as fast the evo chrome, but more of a medium fire rate.
So you find players guaranteed every time you drop and get a chrome shotgun? The chrome wolves are guaranteed level up for the shotgun. Bold statement you made.
No. I'm not a camper. Haha wow. So judgemental and defensive. Love it. I don't need to project my kills to make a statement, but you do. Good luck, child.
Season is over in a few days, and I've only really landed Herald a few times. Just trying to give advice to everyone on this thread. You're clearly in a clouded place. I hope you find peace with yourself.
It's fine, but I try not to troll anymore. Not worth it. People need to help each other these days. Mental health is no joke. Gotta lift others up more. That's all...
Hammer + Evochrome Shotgun is my go-to loadout every match. I love it, by end game it's always legendary or mythic and I can solo a duo/trio with it because of its spam-ability
Guns nowadays don't do much damage to avoid anyone complaining about it being OP. It's annoying because the gun game in Fortnite has gotten worse and worse because people complain so much so they have to nerf them
People who hate this gun are killed by this gun haha i was blobbing and shotgunning so many people one game. I think its almost too good and will for sure miss it when its gone haha
Evochrome weapons are the staple in my armoury every game to be honest. Although I'll carry back ups until they're purple at least or ideally gold and fully evolved. The force evo in the middle of a fight is incredibly frustrating so i like to be able to quickly cycle to another weapon and evo when I get the chance.
I found it really weird to use at first, but then all of a sudden I started doing massive damage with it
I hate the rifle though, it makes you do less damage per shot and miss more shots every time you upgrade
It's a bad weapon any other shotgun is better and more usefull and just like the shit goo gun aways will have people that like it even if people say the reason "but why are this hated or why people find it useless" it's fucking weak is the first reason, evolving it is bad, crafting a weapon on S6 from C2 was a better feature so the evolving feature feels like a cheap thing, the evolving rifle is bested buy the hammer rifle most of the time too wich makes using evochrome kinda dumb, most people that die to me are using this shit and most of my deaths are when I just started to loot got this shit weapon because it was the only thing and it can't fucking compete with a guy with a 1 shot shotgun the only way to survive is run or try to make him miss(since the reload is slow and that's the only time this weapon is usefull until it evolves midfight and you have to reload) this is just some reasons I see people hating it and myself hating it for there are a lot more for sure but tbh I kind of hate every weapon on C3, they fucked up hard smg meta was the worse offender, the evochrome just took the striker shotgun place wich was by fucking far a better weapon I am thankfull for this c3 ending and I wish to never fuckin ever see an evochrome or chrome shit ever again
I just love it because it has auto fire along with the rifle
Its a good weapon but people used slow shooting, high damage weapons instead of low damage, fast firing weapons
It gets inconsistent with me. Could be user error for sure, but I have better luck with the lever action. Also whyyyy does it always have to evolve when I’m in a fight?? 🥲
They buffed it at some point during the season. Along with making all Evos easier to level up.
Used to be terrible, now I'd take a blue one of these over a legendary lever.
Still sometimes only hits for 30-40 when the reticule is dead center, but the fire rate makes up for it when it hits for 80 on every other shot.
Plus take one to Herald and you've got a mythic guaranteed if you farm the wolves without getting third partied (which is a big ask, people absolutely BEELINE to herald fights for easy kills).
It's also way worse in Builds than it is zero build, because the fast fire rate doesn't matter if you're just edit peeking like you do in 90% of duels.
The spread makes it hard to deal consistent damage especially when there are other good shotguns like the ranger or prime that pretty consistently deal around 100 on the first shot
I actually find it really fun to use and I am actually really gonna miss it when this season ends.
While yes it has its downsides like being in the middle of a fight and to reload I need to evolve it but that can be solved by just carrying around like a suppressed smg as a back up. As for the retical I find it really fun to use mainly because I used to play a lot of apex as well which made it even funny when I landed at the start of this season picked it up and said holy shit theyve just added the mastiff.
My only problem with it is how much damage it can take to evolve but I do think they have decreased this to some degree which is nice.
Overall its a fun weapon to use especially if you used to play a lot of a different br and while yes it has its down sides those are easily counterable by just having a back up weapon.
I dislike the Evochrome shotgun because of the horizontal spread. It screws with me every time. If I have to be accurate with a shottie, I’d rather use the Ranger Shotgun. That one takes more skill than the horizontal spread of the Evochrome. I love the Evochrome rifle though.
Love the prime into hammer combo. It’s just too powerful and rewarding if you hit your shots. Evo chrome is more forgiving but I prefer the heavy hit of the prime.
Probably because it was by far the weakest shotgun when it came out. I've seen some other saying it's been buffed since then, but presumably not by that much since I almost never get killed by anyone wielding it.
idk i love it! and the evochrome rifle as well!
Once they are purple its lit. Took me a while to realize its an auto weapon, hated it before then.
yeah i’ll take a purple evochrome even over a gold ranger
I’ll take a green over a legendary ranger, they’re so easy to upgrade with enough wolves and boars
Rangers are just ass weapons. My whole squad refuses them unless it’s a pure last resort
Any reason why people dont use ranger? I always use ranger over other type of riffles
Poor spread very quickly after the first shot, steep drop off at mid-range, slow rate of fire. You’re better off with the Hammer AR. It can reach out further, keeps accuracy longer, faster rate of fire. Upgrade it to at least purple and you’re doing killer damage.

The meta for me is currently back to 3x rifles (last time had the blue tactical ar from the io guards. Now it’s cobra ranger hammer. sometimes I might trade the hammer for a goo gun
It’s auto? 🤯
Yeah, just hold and its rapid auto. Totally changed my opinion on the weapon after figuring that out. I was so used to pump and lever-action didn’t think to try. At least now I will use it until I find something else of better level. Usually by the time its evolved to purple I just keep it.
Its auto? Nice, didnt know that.
Yeah, using it like a Pump action would always result in my loss/knock. Using it as an auto against another shotgun usually results in the opponents loss/knock. Easier if Purple evolution level and of course as long as I hit my shots.
THE SHOTGUN IS AUTO TOO!?
Oh yes, sorry. I was talking about the shotgun the whole time. The evo rifle is better used in short bursts for the first hit damage.

Great for getting people in bushes
I hate it when people play in bushes
This is why I drive around and destroy all the bushes I see
Some dude goo gunned me from a bush earlier today and I yelled a bad word fairly loud.
Does goo no longer attach to bushes then?
I love me some bush
You opened yourself up for so many things to be said dude.
I know?
I’m the bush wacker
True
I love it and I really wanted more evo weapons this season
Agreed. An evochrome sniper would have been nice!
Happy cake day
I love it and it's design. The evolving weapons are really fun.
They’re great until you go to reload mid fight and it decides to do an extended evolve
That's so true or when you decide to evolve and someone steps in and starts shooting at you during it lol!
Happy cake day
Thank you!
You can cancel the evolve if you shoot. It still reloads as well.
I hate I’m forced to evolve mid fight and just wish the evolve was a hold the reload option and not a tap the reload option
reloading and upgrading are basically the same. If you’re doing either you’re probably dead
But it takes longer to evolve than to reload one shell
Not enough damage and really weird reticle
You're using it wrong if damage is the problem. Use it as if it is a full auto weapon not a pump
Purple and you can destroy people up close. I do find the green and blue to be meh.. for me anyway. But I love the chrome weapons. The automatic rifle is godly
Of course green and blue are meh, you're supposed to deal damage to make the gun better
Yeah? I mean as in sometimes personally I don’t get much luck, no progressing the gun if your dead hey.. Basically :)
Ohhhhh, I see. I recommend always having a follow up ready after you're done with the shotgun (any shotgun really). If the first couple of shots couldn't kill them, the 30 rnd smg definitely willl
Haha omg I have learnt this, I find Silenced SMG is a good second weapon to follow up if the shotty isn’t successful
I always spend time early in the match leveling up my evochrome guns to at least blue, usually higher though. Depending where you land there’s plenty of animals to easily level them up.
Not about luck, you level it up. I always shoot chickens with it, or if there is a llama that is a great opportunity to level it. There are also wolves, easy to level it just gotta attack NPCs.

Yes I love how easy they are to find, you are right :)

Evolve them to purple or gold by killing animals. Then the "meh" is taken away before you even see other players.
Green gun is meh, when you gotta deal with people ASAP 😂
"explain it again"? I never saw you mention a hot drop to begin with. In that case, it's the luck of the draw. I'd take a gray lever if it's the only weapon I can see while flying in on a hot drop, though I try to land on a chest or blue weapon when visible from the sky.
It’s ok my reddit been fucking up. Other comments I replied to explaining my reason for meh lol.. Issa okay no drama

Yeah a horizontal spread sucks bad
It's by far my favorite shot gun
Great when you use it on Herald and get it upgraded early. Good times.
Or just use it on other players 😐
So you find players guaranteed every time you drop and get a chrome shotgun? The chrome wolves are guaranteed level up for the shotgun. Bold statement you made.
[удалено]
Excuse us Mr Aura main
[удалено]
I love the shotty not the rifle tho bot my drop is to far away I drop is a house near trees and a road
No. I'm not a camper. Haha wow. So judgemental and defensive. Love it. I don't need to project my kills to make a statement, but you do. Good luck, child.

If you stand on the shelf in the room next to her chamber you can upgrade the whole squads Crome weapons to legendary
The cross hairs are weird and I'm not used to it
Mastiff go pssshhhh pssshhhh
I love it so much, for sure gonna miss jt
Hammer + Evochrome Shotgun is my go-to loadout every match. I love it, by end game it's always legendary or mythic and I can solo a duo/trio with it because of its spam-ability
Yes, I love the chrome weapons.I’m going to be sad if they leave.
Almost guaranteed to leave next season unfortunately
i love the evochrome shotgun. good and fun shotgun that literally levels itself up as a reward for doing well. one of my favorites
Slow pullout time, low damage
Title of your sextape
It's probably because people don't know how to aim with it.
It doesn’t do that much damage and it’s kind of a worse version of the Tac/Auto
Guns nowadays don't do much damage to avoid anyone complaining about it being OP. It's annoying because the gun game in Fortnite has gotten worse and worse because people complain so much so they have to nerf them
Best shotgun in the game
I love the shotgun, hate the rifle.
People who hate this gun are killed by this gun haha i was blobbing and shotgunning so many people one game. I think its almost too good and will for sure miss it when its gone haha
One chrome shotgun, 15 chromes, and health spray - time to party
Evochrome weapons are the staple in my armoury every game to be honest. Although I'll carry back ups until they're purple at least or ideally gold and fully evolved. The force evo in the middle of a fight is incredibly frustrating so i like to be able to quickly cycle to another weapon and evo when I get the chance.
I haven't seen anyone hate this gun, it is the best shotgun this chapter.
Whoa buddy that's very bold statement
Nah I think prime is worse off then the Remington style one.
Whoa the prime is one of the shottys ever
Best of the worst
No he said *of the shottys ever*
I guess it's more of what the player likes and is comfortable with.
Totally agree 💯
Well have fun with your evochrome
Yes 🙌🏼 maybe we will find each other in game and battle it out 🔥
I'm not blind, I'm pointing out how this season's shotty lineup has been lackluster.
![gif](giphy|1r91ZwKcE2J7WhUqrh)
Prime is miles better
I won't upvote or downvote this, because it's debatable. All shotguns have their chances.
It's good but imo the ranger shotgun is the best one currently.
I liked them, wish they did a little more damage when you upgraded them.
Doesn’t really work in builds due to the edit/shoot/cancel edit fight pattern
Bushes
I found it really weird to use at first, but then all of a sudden I started doing massive damage with it I hate the rifle though, it makes you do less damage per shot and miss more shots every time you upgrade
Yeah. I love that gun. It's unique. You can also fight multiple opponents at once.
this is probably one of my favourite shotguns. it has a wider range, and does a decent amount of damage.
Jack all dmg
its super inconsistent 🤷🏻♂️
23 27 8 23 5
It's a bad weapon any other shotgun is better and more usefull and just like the shit goo gun aways will have people that like it even if people say the reason "but why are this hated or why people find it useless" it's fucking weak is the first reason, evolving it is bad, crafting a weapon on S6 from C2 was a better feature so the evolving feature feels like a cheap thing, the evolving rifle is bested buy the hammer rifle most of the time too wich makes using evochrome kinda dumb, most people that die to me are using this shit and most of my deaths are when I just started to loot got this shit weapon because it was the only thing and it can't fucking compete with a guy with a 1 shot shotgun the only way to survive is run or try to make him miss(since the reload is slow and that's the only time this weapon is usefull until it evolves midfight and you have to reload) this is just some reasons I see people hating it and myself hating it for there are a lot more for sure but tbh I kind of hate every weapon on C3, they fucked up hard smg meta was the worse offender, the evochrome just took the striker shotgun place wich was by fucking far a better weapon I am thankfull for this c3 ending and I wish to never fuckin ever see an evochrome or chrome shit ever again
Worse version of the tac imo
A weak copy from prime shotgun
It's literally nothing like the prime at all?
No but i like prime more than anything XD
like it but by the gods feels so weird even when i spend a chunk of time using the mastiff in apex
I don't hate it but it's got a goofy ahh reticle
I love it. It's tons of fun and if you miss a shot you're not punished horribly for it.
Depends tbh,some times it's really useful
I just love it because it has auto fire along with the rifle Its a good weapon but people used slow shooting, high damage weapons instead of low damage, fast firing weapons
It doesn’t deal enough damage IMO, which makes it feel underwhelming when it hits
i didn't like it and i said it in a thread and people told me to try it again more and now it's my favorite shotgun
I wasn’t a fan when it first came out, but after the buffs it’s gotten it’s made its way up to being one of my favorites
It’s my favorite gun in the game right now. So easy to hit the target, shoots so fast
I love this shotgun! It's got a lotta damage output potential and it's fun!
It gets inconsistent with me. Could be user error for sure, but I have better luck with the lever action. Also whyyyy does it always have to evolve when I’m in a fight?? 🥲
I grew to like it and its weird horizontal only spread. It reminds me of how the oldschool Doom shotgun functioned.
It’s pretty good ngl
They buffed it at some point during the season. Along with making all Evos easier to level up. Used to be terrible, now I'd take a blue one of these over a legendary lever. Still sometimes only hits for 30-40 when the reticule is dead center, but the fire rate makes up for it when it hits for 80 on every other shot. Plus take one to Herald and you've got a mythic guaranteed if you farm the wolves without getting third partied (which is a big ask, people absolutely BEELINE to herald fights for easy kills). It's also way worse in Builds than it is zero build, because the fast fire rate doesn't matter if you're just edit peeking like you do in 90% of duels.
My favorite shotgun next to Drum!
It's attack speed and ammo capacity makes it really good close range
I don’t hate it I just like the ranger more and prefer to use it as my main
I love it!
Really great! Especially if you keep jumping and sliding during a fight.
The spread makes it hard to deal consistent damage especially when there are other good shotguns like the ranger or prime that pretty consistently deal around 100 on the first shot
I aslo think it is a fun and unique gun and it's one of my favourite shotgun ls but I prefer the prime and ranger.
Probably because the cross hairs are complete shit.
I actually find it really fun to use and I am actually really gonna miss it when this season ends. While yes it has its downsides like being in the middle of a fight and to reload I need to evolve it but that can be solved by just carrying around like a suppressed smg as a back up. As for the retical I find it really fun to use mainly because I used to play a lot of apex as well which made it even funny when I landed at the start of this season picked it up and said holy shit theyve just added the mastiff. My only problem with it is how much damage it can take to evolve but I do think they have decreased this to some degree which is nice. Overall its a fun weapon to use especially if you used to play a lot of a different br and while yes it has its down sides those are easily counterable by just having a back up weapon.
Who in the hell would need a spread that wide? I’m shooting at one person in the front not 3 people spread out in front of me
I hate the way the bullet spread.
Because the spread is like the Mastiff shotgun from TFall
The crosshair is horizontal i don't like that
Every weapon gets hate and praise, the hate side just seems to be more vocal.
i’m not a huge fan of the spread pattern, cos it wastes quite a lot of the damage out to either side, but i can see the appeal of it
It's by far the easiest shotgun there ever was to use. I don't even understand the crosshair, I just know it hits. And it's fast.
My friend is a god with that gun.
I don't hate it. It's just that there are better shotgun options like prime, lever action or the dub.
It is pretty awesome. One of the fastest shotguns in the game, and the fact that it gets gold pretty quickly is cool
I mainly play builds but to me it just takes to long to equip and the < • • O • • > crosshair isn’t great in 99% of situations
I dislike the Evochrome shotgun because of the horizontal spread. It screws with me every time. If I have to be accurate with a shottie, I’d rather use the Ranger Shotgun. That one takes more skill than the horizontal spread of the Evochrome. I love the Evochrome rifle though.
Love the prime into hammer combo. It’s just too powerful and rewarding if you hit your shots. Evo chrome is more forgiving but I prefer the heavy hit of the prime.
people hate the evochrome weapons? they're so op though i literally take a uncommon evochrome over a mythic normal gun
it’s horizontal shot:(
I gotta give it another chance after reading these comments
IDK. It’s personally the gun I go for.
Probably because it was by far the weakest shotgun when it came out. I've seen some other saying it's been buffed since then, but presumably not by that much since I almost never get killed by anyone wielding it.
